· range 4.9–4.9
Harvest Bend maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 5,455 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
At $1,214 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Houston commands. That places it #55 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $54,594. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
